Economic Assessment of Contingent Resources
Desire Petroleum plc (AIM:DES), the exploration company wholly
focused on the North Falkland Basin, is pleased to provide an
update on the economic assessment of the contingent resources
established by the 14/15-4a discovery. These are based on a
high-level development concept and economic review by Senergy (GB)
Limited.
Desire share of Sea Lion (unrisked) at $85/bbl (NPV 10%) is
estimated at $173 million
-- Assuming Desire share of Sea Lion unit is 4%
-- Assuming 320 MMstb full-field case
Desire share of adjacent discoveries (unrisked) at 85$/bbl (NPV
10%) is estimated at $727 million
-- Assuming Casper and Casper South (Shona) development
-- Based on net Desire 2C resources from Senergy April 2012 CPR update
Desire is currently evaluating the new 3D seismic data and when
this is complete later in the year, a full CPR update will be
published based on all prospects and discoveries. Initial
indications for new prospectivity in the East Flank play fairway
are encouraging, with confirmation of the potential of the Elaine
fan and a major new fan system identified (Isobel). This confirms
our view that there remains significant exploration potential in
the basin. A technical and financial update presentation is
available on the website on www.desireplc.co.uk.
This statement has been approved by Mr Ken Black, Exploration
Director of Desire Petroleum plc, who is a member of the Petroleum
Exploration Society of Great Britain, with over 30 years experience
in petroleum exploration and management, who is a Qualified Person
